in order to survey the inclusion effects of different levels of barley and/or corn grain in diet on growth and performance of holstein calves 40 newborn calves were taken in 5 experimental groups with 4 female and 4 male calves in each group for a duration of105 days. the experimental group was comprised of: group 1; no barley (only consisting of corn grain) and other experimental groups 2, 3, ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of feeding of  steeped barley grain with lactic acid (la) and citric acid (ca) on dry matter intake, feeding behavior, apparent nutrients digestibility, rumen ph and milk production. eight early lactating holstein cows in the second parities were used in 4×4 latin square change- over design. treatments  consisted of basis diet containing 1) dr...

introduction due to the development of sustainable agriculture and the reduction of utilizing chemical fertilizers, it is essential to use organic fertilizer. organic matter is vital to soil fertility and its productivity. to maintain the level of fertility and the strength of soil, organic matter levels should be maintained at an appropriate level. unfortunately, the level of organic matter in...

allelopathic relationship between plant associations, could be applied in non-chemical ‎weed management, however, those allelochemicals should not have adverse effects on arable ‎crops. in order to evaluate allelopatic effects of barley (hordeum vulgare) on ‎germination & growth characteristics of lentil (lens esculenta), two experiments were ‎conducted based on compactly randomized design (crd...

Forty-eight barrows and forty-eight gilts (PIC 337 sires x PIC C22 dams) were evaluated to determine the effects of feeding ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC) and different cereal grains on the carcass and fat quality in late finishing pigs. The study was carried out using four replicates with 24 animals in each replicate (four pigs per pen, six pens per replicate, two replicates per slaughter dat...

Mitochondria isolated from etiolated shoots of corn (Zea mays), wheat (Triticum aestivum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.), and mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) exhibited a proline-dependent O(2) uptake subject to respiratory control. ADP/O ratios with proline as substrate were intermediate between ratios obtained with exogenous NADH and malate + pyruvate as substrates. Iso...

The use of green mass annual leguminous crops allows to get a rich amount protein feed. Therefore, the quality must be ensured in context sustainable crop production and feed efficiency. Apparently, pre-sowing seed treatment with different-sized metal particles growth regulators can affect amino acid composition crops. In conducted work, it was found that seeds UFP MoO2 increased content essent...

Cropping systems like organic farming, selling products at a higher price and promoting environmental sustainability by reducing fertilizer and pesticides, can be more profitable than conventional systems. An economic evaluation of three cropping systems in a seven year period experiment was performed, using a common rotation (fallow-barley-vetch-durum wheat) in a semi-arid rainfed field of Spa...

organic compounds including seaweed extract were applied in organic production system and sustainable agriculture. one of these compounds is humic acid that was used widely in research and commercial programs. humic acid is an organic acid obtained from humus and other natural resources with hormonal effects and improving nutrient absorption, increasing root and shoot biomass. in order to inves...
